Congressional caucuses are formed by members of Congress to provide a forum for issues or legislative agendas. The bipartisan Congressional Caucus on Parkinson's Disease is made up of members from both the House and Senate who seek to increase awareness on Capitol Hill about Parkinson's disease issues.

The Caucus holds occasional briefings on Capitol Hill to keep members of Congress and their staffers informed of the latest Parkinson's disease news. The Caucus members have introduced Parkinson's-specific legislation, supported federal funding for Parkinson's disease research and championed other legislative priorities of importance to the community.

This group took shape in the House of Representatives in 1999 and expanded to the Senate four years later.

Are your elected officials members of the Caucus (view the list below)? If not, ask them to join today! Download our flyer for more information. Feel free to email this to your lawmakers or bring it to in-person meetings.
